African bird pictures


The Lilac-breasted Roller


Here are some pictures I found on-line of birds that we were lucky enough to spot while on our safari in Mikumi National Park. At one point, while driving along the track, I spotted what at first glance appeared to be a blue garbage bag - like the common recycling bags used in Canada - lying on the side of the road. As we got closer, this "garbage bag" gathered itself up and flew off -- it was a gorgeous lilac breasted roller. Take a look at these wonderful birds:
